Unfortunately, I highly doubt the Flames are going into a total tank situation. The best hope for that is if Markstrom gets traded and they go with Wolf/Vladar, then the Wolf/Vladar combo just isn't that good, then the team tanks.
Conroy likely has a better feel for the dressing room than previous management. He's got rid of the guys he feels like were passengers.
The Flames will likely be adding an offensive d-man, to help on the PP, and a vet. I think the Flames won't be handing out that 7 year contract though. They'll probably be bargain hunting somewhat for an offensive d-man willing to take a 4-5 years x 5.5-6 million contract.
